Cultivation Helped by Ancestors
Chapter 480 - 378: Two Emperors
The Divine Dao Emperor is naturally a Great Divine Position, and with the help of an ancestor’s planning in advance, perhaps a special good position can be found.
The Sheji Divine Dao’s conferring already carries great significance.
Not to mention celestial conferring.
Upon receiving Zhang Jian’s confirmation, True Monarch Zhanmo immediately headed to the Ancestral Hall.
Zhang Jian first took a tour around the sect.
Jue Ming Daoist’s ascension ceremony is in two days.
But cultivators from various sects have already begun arriving early to witness the event, and they’ve been placed in numerous palaces beneath the Divine Mountain.
At this time, the area around these palaces has become lively, with organized high-tier trading markets. Many primordial spirit masters from the sects seize the opportunity to trade the resources they need.
With the endorsement from the Tongshan Dao Lineage, the luminaries from various immortal sects are trustworthy.
Following this are dharma artifact assemblies, treasure pill assemblies, and so on, all bustling with activity.
Zhang Jian has limited interest in the nature of dharma artifacts and elixirs, but a keen interest in ancient texts and even outer world classics, so he descends with his true body.
But Zhang Jian soon leaves, as there are too many primordial spirit masters in these places, leaving little room for unexpected finds.
The ancient texts and secret techniques on sale are either priced too high or of limited value, not meeting Zhang Jian’s expectations.
Zhang Jian departs directly through the air.
Just as he passes a certain spot, Zhang Jian’s footsteps suddenly halt. He gazes into the void with a hint of astonishment in his eyes.
In an instant, he faintly senses an unusual sign.
It is not a dangerous sign.
Rather, he senses several immense emperor’s qi coming from far across the firmament, directly reaching the mountain gate of the Tongshan Dao Lineage.
"Have strong members of the Saint King’s Family arrived?"
Zhang Jian’s thoughts move, his immense primordial spirit divine sense vaguely picks up on the phenomena, then sees thunderclouds boiling in the depths of the sky, as a luxurious palanquin breaks through the sky, surrounded by five dragons.
Those are five flood dragons; each one emitting grand primordial spirit auras, and the palanquin above circulating with majestic forbidden technique power.
"Five Dragon Palanquin, have members of the Si Family arrived?"
Zhang Jian’s keen, substantive primordial spirit hears disciples and elders expressing surprise from afar.
The Si Family is one of the well-known Saint King’s Families in this Great Realm, ranking among the Eight Great Saint King Families.
The Si Family also has an extraordinary association with the Tongshan Dao Lineage.
Even Zhang Jian knows this; the ancestor of the Si Family was once a descendant of Ancestor Master King Xia Yu of the Tongshan Dao Lineage.
Within the Tongshan Dao Lineage, there are several disciples of the Si Family.
...
Inside the Ancestral Hall, True Monarch Zhanmo lights a stick of incense and immediately transmits the news of Zhang Jian possessing an emperor’s position.
Moments later, the Ancestral Hall suddenly bustles with activity, as grand divine senses abruptly descend from the void, with golden light illuminating the hall.
Among many of the ancestral dharma aspects, the first to manifest is the Second Generation Ancestor of the Zhanmo Lineage, Ancestor Chufa.
On his golden body, the light shines brilliantly, as a white-robed daoist, long-haired and wearing a longsword, emerges elegantly with a hearty laugh.
"Zhanmo, long time no see, and you’ve surprised me once again with a new development!"
In the void, several grand primordial spirit divine senses tremble, while eight other golden bodies burst into brilliance, as a middle-aged man in purple robes, surrounded by countless thunder lights, appears instantly.
This is the Second Generation Ancestor, Zidian Ancestor.
Following this is another handsome young man in cyan robes, who appears almost simultaneously with Zidian Ancestor.
Seeing this cyan-robed figure, Zidian Ancestor’s expression turns serious and quickly bows his fist.
"Sixth Senior Brother!"
"Master Qing Yuan!"
True Monarch Zhanmo also quickly presents his greetings.
This daoist is evidently the Second Generation Ancestor, Qing Yuan Ancestor.
Legend has it this ancestor has been traveling divine reverie beyond the realm, yet returns with his true body now.
Master Qing Yuan smiles slightly, then looks at True Monarch Zhanmo and asks:
"Is this matter confirmed?"
True Monarch Zhanmo quickly bows and says, "Disciple lacks experience, needs the sect’s secret technique to confirm!"
Master Qing Yuan waves his hand, "Then summon him over!"
Seeing this, several other ancestors maintain solemn expressions, while their eyes hold a hint of anticipation.
All of them have traveled the star river, being knowledgeable individuals.
The Divine Dao Emperor is not uncommon in the outer void; in some powerful realms, even immortals have the chance by accident to acquire an emperor’s position, yet once anyone achieves it, they attain astounding accomplishments within a short period.
This is far rarer than an ordinary celestial immortal.
Back then, their Master, Ancestor Master King Xia Yu, also achieved the emperor’s position known as Water Official Emperor, one of the San Yuan Emperors, wielding the primordial source of the water element.
This was crucial for King Xia Yu’s attainment of the Great Dao Fruit position.
Currently, this Water Official Emperor’s position remains in the Tongshan Dao Lineage, passed on to their Third Senior Brother, Tianhe Master.
Using the Water Official Emperor’s position, many disciples of the Tongshan Dao Lineage hold one part firmly, allowing many ascended immortals of the Tongshan Dao Lineage to quickly mature.
Now, if the Tongshan Dao Lineage could produce a second Divine Dao Emperor, proper planning could leverage this to elevate their influence in the Celestial Realm.
At this time, many ancestors remain silent, engaging in slight exchanges, with smiles emerging in their eyes.
Ancestor Chufa focuses on True Monarch Zhanmo, eyes filled with inquiry.
True Monarch Zhanmo shrugs and communicates simultaneously.
"Master, don’t look at me; I also don’t know how Ah Yu achieved the emperor’s position..."
This sort of exceptional divine position typically takes much difficulty to achieve, far beyond other great divine positions, unless Dao skills are inherited through legacy, which is rare.
Otherwise, one needs to acquire an innate origin item, akin to finding an innate spirit treasure in difficulty.
Or else awaiting celestial palace conferral.
But inside the celestial palace, many immortal practice Dao exceed strength, to break through the ranks requires not just overwhelming power but strong backing, widespread support among immortals!
Too difficult.
To the extent that even with Tongshan Dao Lineage’s background, no second emperor’s position has been obtained since ancient times.
Outside the Ancestral Hall, at this time, suddenly an emperor qi like a rainbow arrives swiftly, and each ancestor’s primordial spirit avatar shows change.
Being people of strong Dao practice, with such grand and pure emperor qi, a glance confirms their suspicions.
The news True Monarch Zhanmo mentioned seems likely true.
"It’s still best to measure everything, lest any mistake occur!"
Master Qing Yuan thinks to himself.
The emperor’s position measurement is simple; it merely requires Tianhe Master, holder of the Water Official Emperor position, to lower some magical power, to guide Zhang Jian to manifest his lifebound position.
However, wild Divine Dao Emperors differ from established celestial palace Divine Dao Emperors.
After surveying, precise mapping of authority and control phase is necessary to devise a comprehensive growth plan.
In this regard, Tongshan Dao Lineage’s expertise surpasses many immortal sects.
